NEW YORK, Nov. 23-The twentieth an
niversary of the execution of the Manches-
ter martyrs was celebrated in Cooper ball
this evening. The speakers were hissed and
the Labor question caused the fiercest of i'll
feeling. The speakers took occasion to
show partiality for Henry Georges theories
and at one time it looked as though small
riot might result. This was when Richard
Gaffery denounced in the most heated terms
the Irishmen who sold their countrymen at
the late election. He singled out Patrick

ed were promptly put out. A company of
the 69th Regiment left the place and the con-
fusion lasted several minutes. Another

The Standard OH Case.

The examination of J. NJ. Culp, general
freight agent of the Louisville and New AL
bany Railroad, was continued before the
Interstate Commerce Commission this morn
ing in connection with the Standard Oil
cases. The chairman questioned the witness
for half an hour respecting printed tariff
sheet issued by witness, giving among other
information the rates upon oil. Witness ad-
mitted that the actual oil rates were not
those given on the sheet, but were special
rates, issued from time to time and posted In
station houses. The purpose OF the chair
man was to ascertain how a shipper could
learn from the company's publications what
were the actual rates upon oil. Witness re-
piled at great length, but failed to make the
matter clear to any one. The chairman
finally advised the witness to take counsel
with the attorney of his road as to whether
he was complying with the fifth section of
the Interstate commerce law respecting the
publication of rates and the filing of copies
with the Commission. Witness promised
effusively that the matter should receive
his earliest attention when he got home. 1t
was subsequently developed that witnesses
road owned the 46 cars upon which the Stan
dard Oil Company had placed tanks. These
cars were not open for the use of any others
than the Standard Oil Company. 1t was
further developed that since April 9th wit
ness had refused to give Mr.. Rice the COM
plainant any rates upon oil from Louisville
to Nashville and Louisville to Montgomery,
despite repeated applications by letter. but
had invariably referred Mr.. Rice to the
agent of the connecting line at Cincinnati,
and had at times accompanied this reference
with some rather forcible expressions of
opinion.
The afternoon session was consumed in
the examination of III. /. Collbran, general
freight agent of the New Orleans and Texas
Pacific Railway, The examination showed
that rates upon oil per hundred pounds were
55 cents in barrels, % cents in tanks. The
great disparity. 1t was shown to be still
greater when, as usual, the tax car held
more than 24,C00 pounds. 1t was also shown
that the tank rates were only made between
points where the Standard Oil Company had
stationary tanks, because not called for
elsewhere.

AUGUSTA. Nov. 23.-Hon. Seth M. Carter,
of Lewiston. M. N. Drew of Fairfield, and
George A. Smith Of Caribou, the commission
appointed under resolve of the last Legis-
lature to examine and report relative to the
claims of the so called Madawaska settlers,
have been in consultation at Bangor this
week, closing their session today. Their re-
port will appear in the course of week and
will probably recommend that the State rec
ognize the claims, where they arise ii OF just
and sufficient cause. and that it might be ad-
yisable for the State to purchase the lands OF
the present proprietors, and then turn them
over to the settlers, who would be willing to
bear a portion of the expense. All of the
claims cannot be regarded as good, however
for in many instances, the settlements were
made in such manner that the settlers very
evidently cannot possess any rightful claim
to the land.

GLOW RETURNS.
What He and His Manager Say of
the Nolan Fight.

John P. Glow was in Minneapolis yes
terday on his way to Duluth. He was
very much disappointed at his failure
to have his fight out with Nolan. w.
e. Gooding, his manager, said: 1.-The
fight created great deal of excitement
in Cincinnati, and if it had not been an
nounced that the sheriff would inter
fere the gate receipts would have
reached $4,000. As 1t was, about 1000
people were present. The one round
fought of course settled nothing, al
though Glow made the best showing. l
offered to fight in private, six men on
side to be present and any sporting re-
porter to referee, but Nolan refused.
Finally he signed articles for twelve
round contest with Glow, of Minneap-
oils, Jan. 4, the winner to take 70 per
cent. of the gate receipts. CLOVIS con-
test with gloves has been postponed

Will be hard battle, and that is the
reason for putting the meeting with
Nolan so far ahead. Nolan is as big a
man as Killen and is built very much
like him. He is tremendous hitter
but looks weak ON his legs. am conf
dent Glow can "dO" him. We got fair
treatment at Cincinnati, rather to my
surprise. The manager of Chester park
cheated us out of SO, and this was the
only unpleasant incident. Glow, after
his arrest, was held in $500 bonds, and
will be obliged to appear at the next
term of court at Cincinnati"
